NEW Gaming pc buy

[brookyndman]

I am about to buy HP Omen gaming pc in a sale in 4hours or so I am asking is this a decent 

pc?

HP OMEN GTX 1070 Gaming PC Intel Coffee Lake 6 Core i7 8700 3.2Ghz, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD with 2TB HDD Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB Graphics Card, DVD Drive,Windows 10 Home, Wireless AC + Bluetooth, VR Ready
Roughly $1700 USD.from a retailer I live in New Zealand.

It's good but what's the price?

Well, any PC can be a decent PC; It just depends on the price of it. If you're just asking for the specs, then that PC will run basically any modern titles possible and even will allow you to do many other tasks, such as video editing, etc.

How could you possibly ask us that question without telling us the price

I live in New Zealand and this is $2500 nz dollars which is about $1700 USD

It's on the expensive side for US pricing but I don't know about the new zealand market

Not horrible taking into consideration tax and assembly but they more than likely use the lowest end parts. A pcpartpicker version I made with the same specs and middle end parts is $1300 USD before tax. If you don't want to build a computer, it's not a bad deal, just could be better.

 

But, like @fasauceome mentioned, computer parts may be more expensive in other countries and I also don't know the new Zealand market.

Actually it looks like pricing and availability is pretty bad going by PCPP new zealand, so if that's all I've got to go by then it looks like a decent deal.

Thank you friends for your input, I am getting an upgrade from my dying 2010 HP laptop with intergrated graphics and 4gb of ram.

I am not against builing a pc my self  but I would rather go with pre made model on the back of my lack of build skills and rather expensive and small parts market here in New Zealand.

I was looking for an AMD ryzen system but choice was limited in this early black friday sale, this is looks like a decent alternative and I am thinking seriously about it.
